- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing them well before setting aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter along with both sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, blending until fully integrated.
- Gradually fold in the flour mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Gently warm the peanut butter in the microwave for about 20 seconds until it becomes slightly runny.
- Mix in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Using a tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart.
- To create a marbled effect, use a toothpick to swirl the warmed peanut butter into the cookie dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges.
- Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra chocolatey twist, consider replacing half of the all-purpose flour with cocoa powder.
- You can enhance the flavor by adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
